National Congress Party (NCP) leader Samanta Sharmin has claimed that BNP is weakening its own electoral prospects by its leaders’ statements. “This election will overturn every equation,” she said, accusing vested interests and certain NGOs of manipulating pre-election polls to serve political agendas. Sharmin argued that the upcoming election is “conspiratorial,” involving interim government actors, BNP, Awami League, Jamaat, and even certain international stakeholders. “A project is underway to keep Bangladesh trapped in the old establishment, but that project will eventually be exposed,” she warned. She further noted that 60 percent of Bangladesh’s population is youth, many of whom see this election as an act of protest. Floating voters, she said, will play a decisive role. “BNP leaders expose their political weakness every time they speak—and with each statement, their vote bank shrinks.”
